YARON BROOK | TUESDAY APRIL 17, 2007

President and Executive Director, Ayn Rand Institute

JUST WAR THEORY VS. AMERICAN SELF-DEFENSE

Brook argues that America is still under attack because it is morally unwilling to defeat its enemies, despite its great material superiority. A prominent advocate for Ayn Rand's philosophy of objectivism, Brook will outline a new morality of war based on a moral code of rational self-interest.

Golden Gate Objectivists, the local community group, has been working with ARI to make this talk happen. You can learn more about the group on our web site, www.goldengateobjectivists.com.

We have already received $1,400 in donations, which when doubled by the matching contribution of the sponsoring GGO member comes to a total of $2,800. To reach the goal of $11,000 necessary to fund the purchase of Ayn Rand's books for all six counties in the Bay Area, we need your help. Please visit our Activities and Events page for details on how to donate and how to make sure that your donation receives the GGO matching funds. There is little we could do to better promote Objectivism in the Bay Area, in the long run, than to fund the purchase of the Ayn Rand's books for area schools and to let her fiction speak for itself.
